Spring: in March the temperatures start rising, the sun rays are more intense, but the ski slopes are still well-groomed and perfectly skiable. Until Easter the skiing season normally keeps running, towards the beginning/mid-April the Alta Badia skiing area closes. In the Dolomites the snow starts melting, the first heralds of spring sprout, e.g. on the Armentara Meadows, a real eye candy! The temperatures are relatively mild, nevertheless freshly alpine due to the fact that the single villages are located quite high.

Summer: in June summer finds its way into the Alta Badia, the temperatures start rising and often draw nearer to the 30 degree mark. For hikes in higher realms, nevertheless we recommend you warm clothes, as the air might be rather fresh even if the weather is fine. Also in the evenings, when strolling across the villages, we recommend you to take a long-leaved thin sweater, considering that you are in the mountains. Nevertheless, mild summer nights are guaranteed!

Autumn: towards the end of September/the beginning of October, autumn starts in the Alta Badia and starts colouring the landscape. The larch forests turn golden in fall, a great experience when hiking in the mountains. Often also the first snow flakes fall in late autumn. Snow-capped mountains in contradistinction to the colours in the valley, a great photo motif. However, of course in autumn there are also grey and rainy days, which are ideal for a retreat in one of the spas of the Alta Badia, admiring the mountains from the sauna window.

Winter: normally winter in the Alta Badia starts around the beginning of December. At the beginning of the ski season, around the beginning of December, you can already experience skiing on natural snow. The temperatures drop under 0 degrees, but during the day they slightly rise. The snow-capped mountains and the fairytale winter landscape are ideal for a series of activities and are also a feast for the eyes.
